Acrobat SDK

I have created a PDF form for my customers to use when ordering.  I would like to add a feature to the form, so it calculates the price based on values selected in the form.  I have used the Vlookup feature in Excel to do this.  Is there something similar I can do with scripting in acrobat?  I have no background in Java scripting so it would have to be rather simple, which I fear it is not...

I was running Acrobat 2010 on Win10 and created a pdf from webpage.This 'out of memory' error came up. I could save the file (up to the error): it was only 65MB.I thought I was back in the eighties!Installed DC 2015 hoping it was fixed.NOT!I could save the file (up to the error): it was 250MB. Not small but still a lot smaller than the image files I work with.I downloaded the html files: all of them is only 165MB. Converting 165MB should not be a problem in the 21st century.Any solutions?

How do Programmatically de-select the text field options for "Scroll Long Text" and "Check Spelling"?These seem to be turned on by default and it drives me nuts. I need a way to de-select these two options for tens if not hundreds of fields at one go.By the way, the suggestion to select all fields and deselect those two boxes is not gonna help. Been there, done that, expressed profanity.

Hello,I am new to the Adobe SDK but I have been programming in C# for many years.  My issue is that we have one huge PDF that we need to split into many smaller PDF files.  So far, my code has been running fine but now I have a couple of questions.First, are there any examples of creating a blank PDF?  I looked thru the SDK samples and I could not find an example of create a clean, empty PDF using the Create() method.  I also used a search tool to look for the phrase "Create(" inside of the .cs files but I could not find anything.  If you do not have sample code then could you please point me to where it is in the SDK?Next, I have this very large PDF with over 188,000 pages in it.  It is over 300Mb in size.  I am trying to split this file into 188 files with 1000 pages in each file.  I found the example is the SDK and I am using the InsertPages Method to create the new file like this:newPDFDoc.InsertPages(0, masterPDF, (pgCount-1000), 1000, 0);(p

My conversions are very poor with symbols for letters; improper spacing; etc. There is so much editing that it is not worthwhile to convert. Can I do anything. I purchased the conversion software on line. Thanks for your help.

Here is my current coding;Custom Format:var cPreFix = "";// get prefix elements for spawned pages;var aFieldName = event.target.name.split(".");if(aFieldName.length > 2){// first 2 elements of name array makeup the prefix for fields on a spawned page;cPreFix = aFieldName[0] + "." + aFieldName[1] + ".";}Key Stroke:goNextAlpha(this, event, cPreFix + "ls.1", true);This only occurs when not completely filling in the auto tabs of previous pages, is there additional coding or changes that need to be made. Thanks.

I found some code on Stack OverFlow that allows me to combine pdfs and insert bookmarks - which is pretty close to exactly what i needed:c# - Merging PDFs programatically while maintaining the "Combine files..." bookmark structure? - Stack Overflow however it does not completely satisfy our needs.The code does create a blank pdf and inserts pages and bookmarks for each section inserted, but it does not take bring in bookmarks from the original pdf's as children to the bookmarks it is creating.Example:I have 3 pdfs.Name     Desired BookMark Name1.PDF    Cover Page  (2 pages)2.PDF    Test Reports (8 pages)           (which has 2 bookmarks inside of it  - ABC on page 3 and XYZ on page 83.PDF    Operating Manual (6 pages)the first part of my code below builds a 2 dimensional array with the filename and desired bookmark name.the code below does create a new pdf with t

I have created a fillable PDF form in Acrobat Pro DC that needs to tally the scores (on a scale of 1-5) given in several text fields (I used radio buttons), divide it by the total score possible (25) and display it at the end of the form as a percentage. I was told I need a JavaScript custom calculation script. Originally I tried using a simplified field notation, but that did not work. Can anyone help convert this formula to a custom calculation script: ((sum1+sum2+sum3+sum4+sum5)/25)*100. Thank you for your time.

Hello, we have a pdf document that we would like to secure by checking that it opens on a machine belonging to our business domain. This is to prevent it from being copied and pasted on other pcs. I know it's a security issue but is there a way to get the machine name and the domain in acrobat javascript? Thank you

Looking for a dynamic spelling plug in for Illustrator CC.  We've had a lot of problems this year with spelling errors mainly due to our very fast workflow and not having enough time to proof everything.  Does this exist or can it be made?

Greetings:I have an issue that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.For many years now I have been using Acrobat on a mac to submit forms to our server using the following Acrobat JavaScript code:this.submitForm("https://cfs.orcasnet.com/...#FDF", false, true);(portions of the URL removed for security reasons)This does an URL Encoded HTML POST to our server. For years this has worked fine and the exact same JavaScript code and PDF works on Windows with Internet Explorer (although an older version of Acrobat).I have gone so far as to put a sniffer on the wire. No data is sent or received on the mac after this call is executed but on the Windows/IE the request is sent and a response received (which of course it would have to, to work).This started occurring a couple of weeks ago. This appears to have begun with the 11.10.19 update of Acrobat on the mac.Here is the current configuration:Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Version 11.10.19 (I don't think it has anything to do with this being PRO I t

I see that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC now allows support for date and image fields in Acrobat forms per the link here: What's new in Adobe Acrobat DC However, I don't see that ability on my Acrobat Pro DC.Has anyone had success yet?

How to change the field background color after date is entered in the text field for Acrobat Adobe DC?I would like the background color to be changed to yellow when text in entered into the field.Thank you.

I am trying to calculate Total Hours in a Time sheet I created in Acrobat Pro. I found the script online to calculate hours between In and Out for the day but I am having two issues.If time is not entered in military format then the total for that day is incorrect. As long as I enter military format it gives me correct total.As you can see in line one in below screenshot I am getting correct total.Line two however is giving me -4:00 because my clock in time after lunch is 12:00 and out is 5:00.Line 3 shows time entered as military time.Issue number two. After I get the totals for each day in a time format then how to I add them up to get the total for the week?If I simply add the fields I get incorrect result. I am guessing because I am trying to add time which isn't same as decimal number.This is the script I have in the total box for the day (T1). I have used same code for the remaining day totals and simply change the field names.-----------------------------------------------------

Hi All,Thanks in advance.We have a PDF (&word doc) , that we intend to use as a "template" for our sales team. However before sending out the pdfs to our prospective clients,it is necessary to fill out details like <PROSPECT NAME> ; <EMAIL > <INDUSTRY> etc.. and generate the PDF specific to the prospect.As of today, what we do isOpen the Word template (of the document)Manually insert the values (20 fields, 10 custom pages between the customary Introduction page and the Thank you page)Save word doc - Prospectname.docExport as pdf - prospectname.pdfIt takes about 2 days to prepare, proofread, and finalise one documentand, we need to sed out atleast 8 pdf a week,This is extemely timeconsuming (& repetitive to most extent)Query :Can we have our "standard" document as a template in ADC ?and insert the values via API at appropriate positions ?Generate custom PDFs for each prospect ?Send it out as an attachment , and / or , link in email ? How much of this is possibl

Hi All,I am working on a creating a PDF form with text fields that need to change the fill color depending on values entered (value 1 turns fill color red, value 2 turns fill color green, value 3 turns fill color blue, etc.). I was wondering if it is possible to write a JavaScript which will set the text field's background color to the color required based on the numeric value entered. Any ideas?Thank you,Donna    

I need to calculate BSA which is:       Sqrt((Ht*Wt) /3600)    I have tried entering in everything and cannot get it right      

Hi All,Using Adobe Acrobat X ProI don't have any programming or Javascript experience so any help will be greatly appreciated.I am trying to figure out how to do a If/Else calculation in a Adobe form.In the field box named (S4_SU_PS) if I enter any value in that field I want it to calculate the difference.  For example I want it to ignore any value up to >£5.75. So if I was to enter £17 in that box then I would like it to return the difference of £11.25 in that same field.  If a value of lets say a lower amount is entered £4.35 then I would like that to be disregarded. So any thing below <5.75 shows up as £0.00.Otherwise when I come to adding up the value in this filed it will be incorrect as I am only interested in adding anything above the £5.75 if that makes sense.Sorry if haven't been clear in explaining in what I am trying to achieve.Many thanks in advance.RegardsJohn

I'm still looking at a work around to my question from the other day. I think I have come up with various field scripts, validations and equations, but I'm down to one last hiccup.I have a simplified field notation in field3:  field1*field2*.01+field1.The equation works perfectly except that I'd like the user to have the ability to not enter anything in field2 leaving them the option to input field1 and field3, exclusive of the equation. I would also need field3 to remain blank/0 value until either the equation is complete or the user enters a number.Is this possible? Is there a way to "override" a calculation?

I am trying to find the index of a slash plus "v." I tried:if (file_list.indexOf("\\v.")>-1)but it doesn't work. If I take out the \\, it works but finds ALL instances of "v." Any ideas why it wouldn't? This is in a node.js script.Thanks.

Hi,How can i make check boxes generate text? I have 9 check boxes, each with their own individual Export Value. (The Export Value is a paragraph of text.) I would like it so when people choose the check boxes they need, the result is shown in a text field, so I'm trying to write a custom calculation script. My Checkboxes are called "Check Box 1" "Check Box 2" etc, and the results box is called "Strength results".I can get it so I get all the text in one line, and the the word "Off" for each checkbox that isn't checked however I'm wanting:Check Box 1 text (or which ever is selected)Line break \nCheck Box 2 text (or which ever is selected)Line break \nCheck Box 3 text (or which ever is selected)Can you help?Thanks

I do not understand why this will only work if both fields are populated. I would also like to know if I could assign a value to variable based on what fields are populated. This is what I have so far, any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated.// Populates fieild based on whether Team or TeamA is populated. If Team is populated it will set the event.value to team and add values to a set of variable. If Team is Null and TeamB is populated it will add a different value to the variables;var team = this.getField("Team");var teama = this.getField("TeamA");var teamz = this.getField("TeamZ");event.value = "";if(team.value==null&&teama!==null) { teamz.value=teama.value}if(teama.value==null&&team!==null) { teamz.value=team.value}if(teama.value!==null&&team!==null) { teamz.value=team.value}

I'm curious if there is a way to create javascript to ...1) safe a fillable pdf (say... a application)2) have it autosave the doc as a pdf, attach and send a email to a static email addressThis is for someone that will fill out a form online, and when submitting it the form has the script to save/send without the user having to do anything.
